Mentis is passionate about providing equitable, accessible, and effective mental health care to the youth in our valley. Our mission is based on educating, inspiring, and supporting the mental health needs of the community, including those with limited access to care. This presentation will focus on how our continuum of care is supporting the mental health needs of migrant youth and their families. The presenters will discuss the impacts of migration on mental health, barriers to accessing care, and share Mentis’ approach to supporting youth and families during this period of transition. Furthermore, the presenters will discuss the importance of caregiver engagement to create a culture of mental wellness across the family system. The primary takeaways for this presentation include raising awareness on the mental health needs of migrant youth, the importance of providing resources and engagement for caregivers, and the inclusion of bilingual/bicultural care to support youth with navigating this challenging life transition.
